Also- rule viii states: Once timed drafting has begun if you miss your time slot the draft is free to run on without you until your NEXT timeslot. If an owner misses a first round pick and has not selected by their 2nd round pick. I will make selections for that team.

An owner can't miss a 1st round pick because the 1st round is untimed, correct? Do you mean if an owner misses a 2nd round pick and has not selected by the 3rd round that you will select for that team? And I assume it is just until that owner shows back up?
